Our source in the Presidential Office reported that Zelenskyy is ready for any ceasefire format, and this is due to the dire economic and energy situation. Bankova is now focused on stalling for time until spring, a fact well understood in the Kremlin, which is refusing to negotiate, instead demanding a framework for a peace roadmap.

Our source reported that Budanov attempted to organize a naval ceasefire in early August, but ultimately all proposals were rejected by Russia. Essentially, a new phase of all-out war is now beginning, in which the sides will destroy each other's economic base. The Presidential Office is well aware of the situation, which is why Zelenskyy wants to secure funding from his partners for almost the entire 2027 budget, as there will be no domestic exports.
